The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) (, LlCC) is the executive body of the National Assembly for Wales, consisting of the First Minister and his Cabinet. As at September 2005, the Cabinet Members of the Welsh Assembly Government are:

• First Minister: Rt. Hon Rhodri Morgan
• Minister for Finance, Local Government and Public Services: Sue Essex
• Business Minister, Minister for Equalities & Minister for Children: Jane Hutt
• Minister for Social Justice and Regeneration: Edwina Hart
• Minister for Enterprise, Innovation and Networks: Andrew Davies
• Minister for Education, Lifelong Learning & Skills: Jane Davidson
• Minister for Environment, Planning and Countryside: Carwyn Jones
• Minister for Health & Social Services: Dr Brian Gibbons
• Minister for Culture, Welsh Language and Sport: Alun Pugh

• Deputy Minister for Finance, Local Government & Public Services & Education, Lifelong Learning & Skills: Christine Chapman
• Deputy Minister for Health & Social Services (Older People & Public Health): John Griffiths

The Welsh Assembly Government has no independent executive powers in law (unlike, for instance, the Scottish Ministers and Ministers in the UK government). The Assembly was established as a body corporate by the 1998 Government of Wales Act and the executive, as a committee of the Assembly, only has those powers that the Assembly as a whole votes to vest in ministers.
